When I was a youngster I was totally unaware of any ill feeling
towards people with ginger hair. We did think that they may have
the trait of being a bit short tempered but there was no common
desire to mock them.

My stepdaughter and her boyfriend are both ginger nuts and they
are frequently on the end of abuse that can, at times, only be
compared to racism. People shouting at them in the street for no
reason other than the colour of their hair. People informing that
they disgust them because they are redheads.

Tonight our local telly news had the story of a young lad, nine years
old I think, whose mother is battling his school in Yate to take the
bullying that he is subjected to seriously. And the bullying is all
related to the colour of his hair.
